Explore various biomes in a sprawling, ever - changing castle. Decide whether to upgrade character powers with a scroll, equip a new weapon from a chest, or find hidden runes to open new paths. But beware, the island is full of abominations. Each character class has unique power sets and a deck of action cards. For enemy encounters, pick one action card to cover the fight. Loot equipment, gold, scrolls, and Cells from enemies to get stronger. However, your health is limited, and death is inevitable. But don't worry! You can keep your Cells to mutate. The Collector lets you spend Cells on permanent mutations from three decks: Brutality, Survival, or Tactics. Enhance your card deck, grow your loot deck, increase health, and unlock item slots. Even after death, use your new mutations to take revenge and go deeper into the island, killing bosses to access new starting biomes. TheGameSteward is glad to back campaigns like this.
